Your gift for a better tomorrow.
With a legacy gift, you can create a future where diseases like cancer are prevented, treated and cured by harnessing the power of the immune system.
Why a legacy gift matters for medical research
Disease affects all our lives. Including a gift in your will to the Malaghan Institute is a meaningful and lasting way to give to future generations. Your legacy can support advancements in immunology and medical research that will improve human health and the lives of our loved ones for years to come.
Medical research takes time. It can take decades for a breakthrough made in the lab to become a life-saving treatment. It requires vision, careful planning, secure funding and unwavering dedication to ensure that discoveries made today become future treatments and cures.
Legacy gifts are vital to transforming discoveries into cures. They provide the necessary momentum and sustainability to fuel life-saving research, ensuring we don’t waste any of its potential. Legacy gifts help fund ground-breaking research and support the next generation of scientists and researchers.
Your gift will live on in the discoveries of tomorrow, supporting new, better ways to treat disease that will benefit generations to come.
Remembering those who left a legacy
At the peak of his career, Tip Top founder Len Malaghan was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. During his treatment Len recognised the value of medical research, so he and his wife Ann established a medical research trust by gifting shares in their company to the Wellington Medical Research Foundation.
This was used to establish the Len and Ann Malaghan Medical Research Trust and the Wellington Cancer and Medical Research Institute.
While Len passed away at the age of 61, Ann went on to make further generous donations to the institute
In 1986, the name of the institute was changed to the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research in recognition of the generous support by Len and Ann Malaghan. Their children and grandchildren continue their legacy with their service, advocacy and play an important role in various fundraising initiatives for the Institute.
